Dawg I watch her videos. She also makes random videos about how Marvel can improve and what they are doing wrong after she lost a show on thier channel. If she did that to DC you would be pissed. The suggestion others don't have integrity while she does is corny. she's just like the rest of them with her life experience biases, preferences, etc.

I'm not at all a Grace fan... if you been reading my posting I even stated about her wrong for bringing Campea into this. That said, she has been an equal critic of all properties. She was the one that even campaigned for that PG-13 for Deadpool.

Like I said I am a Grace fan and watch most of her videos. I noticed she changed her tune on Marvel films a bit after she lost her show on their youtube channel. No big deal cause she offers other good info and really her bias isn't having a material effect on anything.

They didn't necessarily need to hype the movie but some of the BvS reviews were scathing and over the top. You'd think they at least balance it out with some good reviews. :yeshrug:


I guarantee you, if all of these reviews were glowing and with all praise.... and the theatrical cut of BvS is shown as is... I PROMISE YOU the tune of people in general would of been different. That's how groupthink works. It's the problem with RT and those other aggregated percentage websites. Before it used to be people mainly check out who's reviewing it or read the review and even if it was a negative review it is unbiased enough for people to assess and make their own judgement. Now hardly anyone peep that and go off clickbait headlines or what the score shows... no context at all.

Oh I agree wholeheartedly with that. Snyder, Bay, and a few others just don't vibe with them. And I get it for some things and don't for others. 300? Don't get it. Sucker Punch? Completely get it.

and thats where my point about these so called ''critics'' being unprofessional... the moment you walk into a film and say ''oh zack snyder ?? yeah terrible film'' your opinion should be void..

a critic isnt meant to bring personal agendas in their line of work, yet majority of these so called critics are just glorified fan boys with a blog.. i can do my own film review.. fucc these ducks

but where is this proof other than conspiracy theory rumors from DC stans who refuse to believe that people may just have a different opinion? your basis for their "fear" is from upset people who are having trouble facing the reality that people have different opinions on film then them.

if you want to go into fear the only company that has actually shown any signs of fear is WB/DC being that they moved their date for BvS once they found out Civil War was dropping the same time

if we are going to say somebody is scared can we try to go on some facts and not twitter users throwing shyt at the wall trying to figure out why people didnt like BvS as much as they did

That's called being smart on both ends. Imagine if WB kept the date, instead of making 800M+ right now they would be at half by the end of the month, maybe less. WB execs would've been fired like no tomorrow for pulling that stunt. Disney would've lost out on their earning potential as well

This, if you're a film critic you should be reviewing the film based off of that. You know acting, plot, score, dialogue etc. Not on how you feel about an actor, studio, or director. I hate Ryan Reynolds as an actor but that didn't change my views on Deadpool being a good movie.

But that's where I would say it's damn near impossible. I mean if CAN happen but it's tough. Like I said film criticism is a personal thing. It's not like covering sports or politics or the metro beat. It's not about the facts because the facts and how they work are purely subjective. If you know a filmmaker's taste doesn't jibe with your taste or you don't like their aesthetic, etc then that's just what it is. You can either ask someone else to review the movie in your place or you can go in hoping that you're wrong and you find something to like. But that's how it works. Film criticism will never be like hard news journalism because it can't be.

That was smart to move it but they did purposely put it on the same day as a yet to be named Marvel movie trying to flex. When Marvel said it was Cap 3 they still tried to act hard body and stay on the same date. Then WS dropped and was well received so THEN they backed down.

I dont think its hard at all.. Ive given my thoughts on plenty of marvel & dc films without fanboyism spilling out.. its just a lot of these nerds are too engrossed in their bs and think this is some war

I think it's tougher when you know you don't like a filmmakers style. But I feel you. I just think it's tougher when it's your job and you know what you like and what speaks to you

Yes everyone has a natural bias. But Criticism is suppose to be about the film and the film only not your "personal" feelings why you love a franchise or brand more. Someone could of grew up loving Marvel comics, cartoons and toys but if you are going to reviews movies you gotta put that aside and be fair and just judge the movie. This is why I was upset with "The Force Awakens" reviews. It was a good but there was way to much fanboy reviews and they didn't take JJ to task for remaking "A New Hope" like they should of. You can't criticise Lucas for taking the risk he did with the "Prequels" then turn around and praise JJ for remixing Lucas's work.

Very good analysis Wild self and that's what I was getting at with my point. Again I want to be clear, my Payola statement was only to say studios do things behind close doors. I'm not saying Disney is writing people checks but I'm sure they are giving perks (Campea Red Carpet, Exclusive Interviews etc) as an example and again I'm not even saying Campea is paid off but just giving an example. I'm sure WB and others do it as well. But I do feel Disney is trying to monoplize the game and they are doing a great job (Marvel, Star Wars even Zootopia and soon Jungle Book). I can't hate on them for having amazing properties but I agree with you point that they would rather have smooth sailing then have Competition breathing down there necks.

Competition is suppose to make you want to make better movies. Genesis dropped and litteraly punched Nintendo in the mouth. Sonic was Legendary. What did Nintendo do? Drop one of greatest systems ever with Super Nintendo. All Marvel has to do is continue making films that people enjoy and they will be fine but it's clear they are a little nervous about DC grabbing hold and splitting those dollars. And remember DC litterally used a cheat code and skipped over 4 solo films and got right to Batman V Superman with Justice league right around the corner. But watch out if any of the Justice League movies have a Nolanesque quality. I will be there for 'Civil War" like I am for most Mavel movies but I will be fair in my review. Just like I was with "Iron Man 3" when a lot of people was trying to say it was great when it's not seeing "Iron Man 1" on any level.

Suicide Squad is gonna have a lot of people all :whoo: in August. That will make the MCU all bugged out and forced for them to step up their game. Marvel never had any competition, outside of TDK trilogy, since 1998...for them to lose a 2 decade lead in a matter of 4 films in the comic cook world WOULD BE THE GREATEST FAILURE OF ANY INDUSTRY COMPETITION.

Like I said there, the only quality MCU films that would be great after CA:CW are Black Panther and Infinity Wars, and they don't drop till 2018. Meanwhile, all DC has to do is make sure that Wonder Woman and THE Flash and Aquaman be great, and their greatest nightmare will arise. Forget about "The Batman" dropping around then. That would close up shop for a lot of the MCU post Infinity Wars. :heh:

they are the ones that chose that date though :mindblown: so they get props for moving it after? :mindblown:

i dont even really care about that but when nikkas start pulling shyt out of thin air based on intricate conspiracy theories :camby:

I ain't praying for a downfall, I'm looking forward to competition. Brings the best out of Marvel and DC in films.
